Door-to-door dragon son-in-law

Chapter 2253 Three Souls and Seven Souls

When Ye Chen walked up to the terrace on the third floor of this villa alone, the motorcades of Liu Jiahui and Chen Zhaozhong's family had already entered the courtyard of the villa one after another.

Reporters flocked in following the convoy. The best lion dance troupe in Hong Kong Island danced two lifelike lions to perfection, and the scene was extremely lively.

Although Ye Chen never liked lively scenes, but seeing this scene now, he felt very relieved.

The thick smoke produced when the firecrackers exploded was accompanied by a strong smell of gunpowder. This familiar but unfamiliar smell gave Ye Chen a refreshing feeling.

He liked the smell of gunpowder smoke when firecrackers were burned out since he was a child, but with the prohibition of burning and setting off fireworks and firecrackers everywhere these years, he has not smelled this familiar smell for a long time.

It may also have something to do with the Chinese people's happy events and festivals like fireworks, so whenever you smell this smell, it is also a good time for family reunion and happy events, especially when Ye Chen was young, during festivals , parents will spare time to accompany him to set off fireworks and firecrackers.

At that time, Ye Chen could not wait to set off cannons from New Year's Eve to the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.

So this smell will also make Ye Chen involuntarily find the unique sense of happiness in his childhood.

Ye Chen stood on the edge of the terrace, took a few greedy breaths, and couldn't help thinking of his parents again in his mind.

Most of the time, Ye Chen is a strong person, who seldom sheds tears and is never afraid. Even if life gives him the greatest hardship, he can still live with a smile.

But only when he misses his parents, the fragile sensitivity in his heart will be exposed involuntarily.

His character is like a hedgehog with strong armor, and his parents are his soft and fragile abdomen.

He saw Chen Zhaozhong stepping out of the car in a suit. Chen Zhaozhong was still wearing the same suit he had brought when he fled to the United States. It is gray, but it looks extraordinarily energetic.

In Ye Chen's mind, he suddenly remembered what his father had said to him when he was young.

Those words were also the reason why he rejected his grandfather and insisted on taking his mother back to China.

He said: "Chen'er, you have to remember that any person with a righteous heart and flesh and blood must have three souls and seven souls. If such a person stays away from his homeland for a long time, the three souls and seven souls will lose one soul. When will he set foot again?" Go to the homeland, the lost soul will be found back naturally, if you don’t return to the homeland, or if the homeland is lost, then this soul will never be found again.”

Seeing that Chen Zhaozhong looked ten years younger overnight, Ye Chen suddenly understood the true meaning of his father's words.

My father also said: "Among the three souls and seven souls of human beings, the three souls are the heavenly soul, the earthly soul and the fateful soul. The heavenly soul means the homeland, the earthly soul means the parents, and the fateful soul means the self."

As he said that, his father asked him again: "Chen'er, do you know why in the 5000-year history, whenever the country is in danger and the land is lost, countless ancestors will sacrifice their lives for the country?"

The young Ye Chen shook his head ignorantly, and asked, "Why, Dad?"

The father smiled slightly and explained: "That's because a person can lose the other two souls and seven souls, but he must lose the heavenly soul! Because among the three souls and seven souls, the heavenly soul is the most important, because it represents the soul of a person. The highest belief of a person, a person's belief in his homeland, motherland, and nation is the highest belief. This is the reason why Dad chose to return to China, and why the Jews have experienced so many hardships, but they are still desperate. The reason for returning to Palestine and establishing Israel is because they, like Dad, want to get back their heavenly souls, the only difference is that Dad left their homeland, while they lost their homeland."

The young Ye Chen didn't understand the feelings of family and country, so he didn't understand why his father was full of tears when he said this.

Now when he saw Chen Zhaozhong's radiant face, as if reborn, he really understood his father's hot and sincere heart back then.

Ye Chen couldn't help thinking that he had never left his homeland to develop overseas, nor had he forgotten his original aspirations, nor had he been blinded by material desires, but his three souls and seven souls had long since ceased to be complete. Then, his earth soul, which represented his parents, also went away with them.

Just when Ye Chen was sighing with emotion in his heart, he suddenly heard a familiar voice beside him asking: "Mr. Ye, what are you thinking about so preoccupied?"

Ye Chen was slightly startled, and turned around to see that Liu Manqiong had arrived behind him at some point.

He was surprised, but at the same time a little bit scared.

He didn't expect that he would be so careless that he didn't even notice that an ordinary person like Liu Manqiong was approaching. If an enemy really approached at this time, he might be powerless to resist.

Immediately, he came back to his senses, smiled slightly, and said to Liu Manqiong: "I'm thinking about some old things."

Speaking, Ye Chen asked her: "When did Miss Manqiong come?"

"I just arrived." Liu Manqiong also smiled slightly, then walked to Ye Chen's side, looked at the lively scene below, and asked Ye Chen: "Did you miss your parents just now?"

"Hmm..." Ye Chen didn't deny it, nodded his head lightly, smiled self-deprecatingly, and said softly, "Although 20 years have passed, I still miss them very much..."

Regarding this topic, Liu Manqiong and Ye Chen were almost on the same frequency.

She almost completely understood Ye Chen's feelings, so she couldn't help but sighed softly, then stepped forward, mustered up her courage, took the initiative to hold Ye Chen's hand, and squeezed his palm hard, as if In this way, convey your concern and comfort to him.

Liu Manqiong was afraid that Ye Chen would think too much, so she changed the topic and said, "Mr. Chen's condition seems to be much better than yesterday."

"Yes." Ye Chen nodded, and said seriously: "He has found his heavenly soul."

As he said that, he saw Chen Zhaozhong helping the old mother out of the car with his own hands, and quickly said: "No, not only the soul of heaven, but also the soul of earth."

Liu Manqiong asked in surprise: "Mr. Ye also knows about three souls and seven souls?!"

Ye Chen was startled, and couldn't help but ask, "You know that too?"

"Of course..." Liu Manqiong smiled slightly, and said seriously: "Mr. Ye, don't forget that I have learned Chinese, and I have learned it for many, many years. In fact, at the end of learning Chinese, I learned philosophy and history."

Ye Chen nodded slightly, and said, "It's better to read books, the essence of 5000 years of civilization is in the books."

Liu Manqiong said with a smile: "Although Mr. Ye has not finished college, he must have read a lot of books, right? You know such unpopular Taoist ideas as three souls and seven souls."

Ye Chen laughed at himself: "I haven't read many books. I've been at the bottom for 20 years. How can I have so much time and energy to read a lot? My father told me these things when I was young."

Liu Manqiong said seriously: "Actually, it's never too late to read at any time. If Mr. Ye can spare time, he can make a plan for himself first, try to read one book a month, and then try to read two books a month and one book a week." Book."

After speaking, Liu Manqiong said again: "If Mr. Ye doesn't dislike it, I can help you make a study plan."

Ye Chen couldn't help asking her: "Shouldn't there be random progress checks and homework assignments then?"

Liu Manqiong smiled shyly, and said, "I can do it, if Mr. Ye needs it."
